1 night at Smoky Bottom Farms

Absolutely amazing site especially considering they just had severe weather and not even a 2 miles up the rd a tornado came through. Rocky provided a fool-proof fire set up, maintained and level site, saw we were a little confused from our headlights and came out and guided us in. He could charge double and we’d still come back!

1 night at Smoky Bottom Farms

Nice, quiet spot in a rural setting. Rocky was a great host. He had a fire ring and wood all set up for us. And he let us fill our water tank before leaving. The campsite was flat and easily accessible in our Transit campervan.

Weekend Trip to Smoky Bottom Farms

I had some last minute free time to go camping and Rocky’s site was a perfect fit. It was fairly close to home and a fantastic value. Rocky was super nice. He had the fire pit, wood, and a trash bag all set to go. I had a very enjoyable stay. I felt very safe. There was minimal animal or road noise at night. I will definitely be back.
